Trying to answer as simply as possible:
Composition is the arrangement of any given elements.
Components are the elements themselves.
So to say it in other words, components are arranged in a certain way in order to make a composition.

Component is one part of a whole thing. Ex voice is a big component of most music. Composition is a piece of work created by you. Ex this painting or book is my composition.
