[2] Besides his activities as an organist, Jozé is mainly remembered today for his long association in a number of functions with the Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM) in Dublin.
There, he taught the piano (1872–1882), organ (1880–1917), and harmony (1876–1918), conducted the choir (1883–1885) and the orchestra (1891–1915) while also sharing chamber music classes (1892–1899) with Charles Marchant.
[4] In 1877,[5] Jozé received a doctorate of music (MusD) from Trinity College Dublin for his cantata The Prophecy of Capys.
[2] Although he "did not enjoy huge success as a composer",[2] his large works did have performances, and much of his piano and choral music was published.
Much of Jozé's music fulfilled a contemporary demand for arrangements of Irish traditional melodies for small vocal ensembles, mainly partsongs for four voices.
