Rose into passionate crescendo

"Hester's voice rose into a passionate crescendo and the tears started to well into her pale blue eyes and run down her pink and white cheeks."


Would you explain the part "rose into passionate crescendendo"?

This seems straightforward from the individual meanings of "rose", "passionate" and "crescendo". "rose" is the past tense of the verb "rise", in case that's what's confusing you.
