 Doesn't the Brahms Requiem finish one movement with a huge fugue section that

Here is a link to the score of that movement on the IMSLP.org site. It has a very long D pedal point, starting at meas. 173 - page 110, (bass trombonists know it well) but there is harmonic activity (mostly I ii6 V repeated) on top of that:

Can anyone recommend some works or significant parts of works that are based on one or two chords only?

So far I have:

Monteverdi: Prelude to L'Orfeo (D major)
Wagner: Prelude to Das Rheingold (Eb major)
Ross Edwards: Maninya V (two chords)
Stockhausen: Stimmung (1 chord)

I'm sure there are many others I'm missing: any suggestions?

Matthew
