Spanish composer. Probably born as José Riquero Roquer or José Ferriol,
he received music lessons at the Montserrat abbey from José Martí. In
1760 he was ordained a priest at the Real Monasterio de Guadalupe. In
1777 he was appointed 'maestro de capilla' at the same abbey in a post
he held until 1800 and alternating his music duties with the composer
Manuel del Pilar, also active as 'maestro de capilla' there from 1753 to
1794. Despite José de Barcelona was mainly focused on his sacred duties
usually not related to music, he wrote many music being active as a
composer from 1773 to 1794. In 1785 he was elected 'mayordomo mayor' of
the Real Monasterio de Guadalupe. He also wrote the treatise 'De
arithmetica et algebra et musica speculativa'.
