What are the arias from opera salome by Richard Strauss?

Strauss's score is continuous from beginning to end, even moreso than Wagner's operas. The final scene of the opera, beginning with the presentation of Jokanaan's (John the Baptist) head on a silver platter, is sometimes excerpted for dramatic sopranos in concert, but even then it's simply titled the Final Scene.
