Narrative:
We were turning on final for a runway 23. I called for gear down and flaps 30. The pm (pilot monitoring) read back the instructions; pressed the chimes button; but was interrupted by a call from tower; which he answered. Flaps 30 was set; but the gear was not selected down. I then called for check flight spoilers; flaps 45; which was selected; and the before landing checklist was completed. At approximately; 1;100 ft. AGL; we received the gear horn; at which point I asked the [pilot monitoring] to select gear down; which he did; and to re-read the checklist; and this task was completed (for the second time). A normal landing was made.saturation of tasks; short turn to final due to low volume of traffic; high work load; distraction from radio calls from tower.both pilots are relatively new to their respective positions. Neither confirmed that the gear was down upon the first reading of the checklist; and it was imperative that both pilots confirmed the proper gear position at that time. The primary focus should always be aviate; navigate; communicate in that order. Communication with tower could and should have been delayed until the more important flying tasks were completed. A higher level of diligence should have been engaged with the reading and completion of the before landing checklist.
