I'm a little buzzed, but yes, Barber's Adagio kind-of has a "theme," it's that famous suspension that opens the piece and keeps re-appearing, but it seamlessly morphs while building to a climax. Strophic music, (in other words with themes repeated so often that they can be assign an "A" or a "B") is a little more clear cut, like, um...Beethoven's "Fur Elise."
