One-note compositions

I have been listening to Giacinto Scelsi's "Quattro Pezzi (su una nota sola)" and the idea of building such a complex work with only note fascinated me.

Do you know any other works with this characteristic? Like Musica Ricercata's first movement or Stockhausen's Inori?

Hans Zimmer wrote The Joker Theme for Dark Knight as one note. It starts off as a solo cello, keeps getting louder, adds in a few guitars and I think starts to slide the note up.

Very cool.

I just heard that a few days ago and I was about to suggest it. Very cool piece.
