Morales was born and died in Mexico City, where he studied music; two of his operas, written in Italian, were performed there.

He lived in Europe from 1865 to 1868, and his success in Florence with the opera Ildegonda [es] in 1866 made him a star in his native country.

He composed, conducted, and taught in Mexico City until his death.
