Wer Ist Der, So Von Edom Kömmt
''Wer ist der, so von Edom kömmt'' is a pasticcio Passion oratorio based on compositions by Carl Heinrich Graun, Georg Philipp Telemann, Johann Sebastian Bach and others. The pasticcio was assembled around 1750. The only extant manuscript of the Pasticcio was written by Johann Christoph Farlau and an unknown scribe. Farlau was a pupil of Johann Christoph Altnickol, Bach's son-in-law. Since a reliable differentiation between the handwriting of the master and the pupil was only done in the early 21st century, older scholarship generally attributes the realisation of the Pasticcio to Altnickol and/or indicates Altnickol as the composer of the movements that can not be attributed to other composers. In the second half of the 20th century Bach scholarship turned its attention to the pasticcio as it was possibly Bach's elusive " 5th Passion", and for containing previously unknown work by the composer ().
