As you probably already know, "crescendo," as applied in music, means to gradually become louder. In a lifetime of music, I have never seen the word, "crescendoed" used in this manner (past tense;) but I suppose it could be used in a literary sense--if the writer is really skillful.

I don't think you will find it in a dictionary, but I have heard it used many times by conductors. It is a past tense for "crescendo", which means to get louder.
example:
The woodwinds crescendoed when they weren't supposed to.
I supposed the same could be applied to "decrescendo"

I believe that the word is spelled crescendoe.
Yes it is a word.
It means gradually increase in volume, intensity and force.
Also the name of a famous glove and clothing designer in the 40' & 50'.

I think you may mean crescendo..........a steady increase in force or noise.
