Is the word ‘crescendoing’ a word?

I’m writing a paper for english and im trying to make sure it is a word and i am spelling it properly. The word is a italian term and is often used on sheet music.

Maybe rephrasing it would be better, such as “reaching a crescendo” you can’t really put “ing” on the end of an Italian word

Sure, why not? “The music crescendoed to a climax…” I don’t even get a red spelling underline from Yahoo for it, so it MUST be a word. So is crescendoing (just checking for red underlines)
