What is the command for writing out the chapter name in the memoir class?

Question

Say I have \chapter{Test Chapter} in my document, and I want to insert the title of the chapter into some code or into the text further down the document, what is the command for inserting the previous chaptertitle? I have tried \thechapter but it only inserts the number of the chapter.

The command \thechapter is also used somewhere in my preamble, so I don't want to redefine that command, lest it'll mess up something else.

As stated, I use the memoir class.

@Werner, not really because nameref is not needed in this case ;-) — daleif, May 18 '15 at 09:00
@Werner, no but the question is explicitly asking about memoir. — daleif, May 18 '15 at 09:01
@daleif: The reason I mention this is because nameref works with memoir making the posted duplicate solutions usable, or you can use \titleref (out-of-the-box built by memoir). — Werner, May 18 '15 at 09:04
@Werner, well actually, internally nameref is mapped to the memoir interface when used with memoir (as far as I remember) — daleif, May 18 '15 at 09:07

use references

\chapter{Some title}
\label{chap:some}

then later

\ref{chap:some} -> chapter number
\pageref{chap:some} -> page number for the start of this chapter
\titleref{chap:some} -> the title of the chapter

\titleref is build into memoir
