This theme, a taut descending sequence of staccato quarter notes, is usually heard when the Nazgul are up to their tricks, but not always, and besides there is another theme (see Nazgul) that seems to be more specifically about the Nine. This one seems to be used when there is danger of a Sauron-related kind, but not for the more garden-variety dangers relating to battles, Balrogs, the Dimholt, etc.
