Antônio Carlos Jobim has several tunes that melodically center around a single note or short cluster. this is the one that (obviously) fits the best - not strict, but the effect is striking nonetheless
Aguas de Março is another example in a similar vein, but it’s a bit more complex and outside the scope of this thread
it’s kind of a stylistic element of a lot of his music, the evocation of complexity and narrative through repetition - shades of Ravel’s Bolero
