Morphology

composer = compose (transparent) = compose + er

The software sense is a straightforward extension: an entity (including a program) that composes music, following the same agentive '-er' formation.

Etymology

Composer comes from the same Latin parts com- and ponere, meaning 'together' and 'to put', so a modern composer—even a computer program—'puts together' sounds and parts to create music.
