    Watts Chapel is named after a memorial chapel built by Mary Watts in commemoration of her husband, the artist GF Watts. The piece draws on the music of Mahler written around the time the chapel was built. It was commissioned by Michael Partington who gave the first performances in February and March 2016 in the US and the UK. Published by Doberman © 2016.
